Changing ‘Home’

Shall be back in a while!

This is because we are relocating- the 10^th time! To Bangalore for the third time, and my son is changing his school eighth time. He is in IXth  so on an average every year of his schooling he is in a new school!! Amazing!

Delhi-Bangalore-Madras-Calcutta-Bombay-Bangalore-Delhi-Bangalore, over 1998 to 2014. While we were busy with packing and unpacking, losing and gaining, settling and unsettling and starting from scratch in between, forgetting the borders that we have crossed between states, we were too busy to notice that all but Delhi changed their names, and all but Chennai got their metro rail and Mumbai its mono rail. The cities expanded in size horizontally and vertically to accommodate rising urban migration encroaching into the land of other habitats, from bird’s eye-view, greens gave way to brown, gray and black. With varieties of brands of cars catering to newer segments and spectacular architecture and illuminated malls engulfing consumers, the proportions of local language speaking population dwindling in each city, India has become the largest market for the globe and we her citizens.

Au Revoir!
